SCOPE OF THE NON-REFEREED EXTENDED ABSTRACT TRACK

We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the non-refereed
extended abstract track of the 2nd ACM SIGHIT International Health
Informatics Symposium (IHI 2012).

The non-refereed extended abstract track offers an opportunity for health
informatics practitioners and researchers to present their work in progress
in two ways: (1) as a poster presentation at the IHI conference and (2) as
an article in the SIGHIT Record, the newsletter of SIGHIT
(http://www.sighit.org/record/). Extended abstracts will not appear in the
conference proceedings. All topics described in the Call for Papers are
eligible for extended abstract submissions.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Each extended abstract should be 1 page in length. Submissions must not have
appeared in, or be under consideration for, another conference, workshop,
journal, or other target of publication.

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
electronically. Submissions must adhere to the following formatting
instructions:

"	Submissions must adhere to the ACM Proceedings Format available for
LaTex, WordPerfect, WordPerfect 9, and Word. Changing the template's font
size, margins, inter-column spacing, or line spacing is prohibited. Each
extended abstract must be submitted as a single PDF file, formatted for 8.5"
x 11" paper. 
"	Submissions should not list keywords, general terms, and categories
and subject descriptions. In addition, submissions should not have the
copyright notice located at the bottom of the left column of the first page
of the ACM Proceedings template.

The conference organizers will work on ensuring that poster sessions are
well attended and have a vibrant discussion environment.

Although the non-refereed extended abstract submissions will not be formally
reviewed, the IHI 2012 conference organizers will read all of the
submissions to ensure every accepted submission is appropriate for IHI.

Extended abstract submission deadline: September 8, 2011 11:59pm EST
Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2011 11:59pm EST
Camera-ready copy due: September 30, 2011 11:59pm EST
